Diving Weekend at Umkomaas!

We had another wonderful weekend of Diving over the Easter holidays! My mom went with to babysit and Dad also dived with us! I qualified as an advanced Padi diver and had to navigate with a compass and write my name backwards at 30m under the water!!!
I loved it and cannot wait to go dive the red sea in Egypt in June!!

This is me!! Sias bought me an underwater camera and housing when he was in Hong Kong which I just love!! I love taking photo's and now I can take them 30 m underwater too!!


A ragged tooth shark!




Turtle eating of the reef!

LOL- this is n real close up of me 20m under water!!




A beautiful photo of a moray eel!!




Sias at the Produce shipwreck! I was surprised that this came out as it is 32m deep and very dark down there!!No light comes down to colour the photo's!





This is actually a fish on the shipwreck! Look carefully and you will see!





Easter Egg hunting!!


And to top it all of Amber decided that this was the weekend she was going to give up nappies for good! Well done my Pixie- at 26 months Mommy is so proud of you!!
Now we just have to dump the dummy.....

  2. You certainly get around. Why are you going to Israel? I'd love to visit there someday. Well done on your deep sea diving trip. Tell your mom and my brother that I say hello. Give Pixie a kiss for being such a big girl and choosing to go potty. Nice that she no longer needs diapers.
